The new requirements of the cloud-connected and mobile enterprise present significant challenges to business and technology executives. IT departments must adapt to the "new normal" of IT by accelerating delivery of new and enhanced services that support business objectives at current budget levels without increasing risk. And now, with IT at the center of consumer services and employee productivity, they must also ensure optimal customer experience while supporting a myriad devices across a hybrid infrastructure -- some of which may not be fully within its control. Ultimately, the complexity of both the services provided and the infrastructure over which they are delivered has led to an increasing amount of management tools that many organizations struggle to manage and maintain. Ignite your IT organization to take advantage of these disruptive market forces. Attend this half-day summit for an illustration and demonstration of how to transform your IT to drive business service innovation while ensuring exceptional end user experience and quality of business services.

In today's IT landscape, applications are becoming more complex as new technologies and environments such as cloud computing and mobile are being introduced.

In today’s application rich world, getting security right means protecting applications wherever and however they are deployed: on mobile devices, hosted in the cloud and across an ever-expanding base of users. Yet, the foundational building blocks of incorporating security at the application level into the software development life cycle (SDLC) and complying with industry accepted security metrics and standards are often ignored or just not known. Enter Software Security Assurance, or SSA, as a holistic approach aimed at making critical business software more secure and impervious to attack by addressing security risks at the application code level.
This summit will provide technology and security professionals alike a 360-degree view of application security, from exploring best practices with recognized industry leaders on getting started with application security to next steps for organizations to accelerate and optimize their existing SSA programs.
